The next day.
When the two armies fought, the soldiers on the Persian Empire side felt that they had defeated the enemy last time, and there would be no problem this time.
However, what they did not expect was that the Holy Empire's army this time was so powerful.
In just a moment, they were defeated. As for the general who they thought was very brave, he was of no use at all and did not participate in the battle. He just kept giving orders from the back.
This battle resulted in the direct loss of two thousand people, and three thousand people were captured!
This was not the worst. They had no choice but to retreat, but after retreating to another city, the enemy still caught up with them.
They had no choice but to continue attacking, but compared to the last time, they were definitely more cautious this time, and they also recognized their own strength. The two sides should be evenly matched.
But... they still lost a lot of men and horses, and it was a crushing defeat! Seeing that their soldiers were getting fewer and fewer, the general did nothing at this time.
They just felt strange. If the general had led them in the charge, they would not have lost so many people, nor would they have been defeated so thoroughly.
In the tent.
The soldiers under his command looked at Ye Jiajia and asked angrily, "General, why don't you choose to attack?"
"Why don't you join the battle? You didn't participate in the last two battles. Instead, you just stayed at the back. At the beginning, you led us into battle and killed all the enemies!"
"But now you've changed, to the point where we hardly recognize you anymore!"
"General, what's going on?"
Ye Jiajia smiled calmly, "Do you really want to hear it?"
"If anything happens to the general, we soldiers will naturally take care of it for you. After all, your strength is recognized by us."
"It's simple. I charged into battle. As a great general, I fought bloody battles for the Persian Empire. You saw that I was absolutely decisive on the battlefield."
"What did the king do? He held my family hostage and put them under surveillance! He even spared my children. Do you think I should risk my life for the Persian Empire?"
"this……"
At this moment they hesitated, and they didn't know what to say. After all, it was an order from the king, but they also had an understanding of this matter.
Persian city.
The Persian king was still waiting for good news from the front, but he didn't expect that he would be defeated in a battle just a few days later. He heard that they were defeated miserably, but he just thought it was due to negligence.
Maybe it was because their soldiers were too proud and did not grasp the right measure, which led to their crushing defeat!
But they never expected that after the festival, their soldiers suffered another crushing defeat in another city.
But he was really a little panicked, so he quickly gathered his ministers together.
"Why are we losing battles so often on the front lines? You know, at the beginning, we were firmly holding the Holy Empire's soldiers down, and they had no reinforcements."
"Why are they so brave now? They're beating our soldiers to pieces and forcing them to retreat. This doesn't make sense!"
The Persian king's words made everyone present hesitate.
After a while, they explained, "Your Majesty, our soldiers have sent a letter saying that the general did not choose to fight bravely on the battlefield!"
"The reason we were able to win the previous battle was because Miss Ye charged forward and fought bravely, but in the two subsequent battles, she chose not to charge forward."
"Instead, she hid in the back and gave orders. As a general, we can understand her giving orders, but it really doesn't match her previous style!"
"Thus, we can also judge that the strong one is not our Persian Empire's troops, but Miss Ye. She single-handedly helped us turn the tide!"
“…”
The Persian king hesitated at this moment. He was a little surprised and confused about the situation!
"how so?"
"Your Majesty, I think Miss Ye is upset and feels that Your Majesty is taking her family hostage."
"This king did this for the sake of stability and to make Miss Ye feel complacent!"
"What if this great general's mercenary becomes independent? What do you think I will do?"
"Send the order immediately! I hope General Ye will fight bravely and save the situation as soon as possible."
"This king also hopes that Miss Ye can make more contributions to the Persian Empire. If you continue like this, don't blame me for taking action against her family."
When the king said this, everyone present hesitated for a long time. The minister was still relatively clear-headed. "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed. This might anger General Ye!"
"Also, this will easily cause the soldiers under your command to develop a rebellious mentality. Absolutely not! You have to know that these soldiers are fighting with blood and blood, and they are united with the general on the battlefield."
"If ordinary soldiers were threatened with their families, they would be even more angry!"
But the king insisted on his own way. He felt that this was the only way to solve the problem and make her obey him.
When the king's military order reached the military camp, Ye Jiajia looked very calm, because he knew that Lu Yun had already guessed that the king would do this.
However, she was not worried at all. Instead, she quietly passed the king's military order to her subordinates and to the entire military camp.
Many soldiers were furious after learning what the king had done to General Ye. They felt that the king had gone too far.
If it were their family members, they would not be able to accept it either. They would use their family members' lives to threaten them to vent their offense and turn the tide of the war.
They just think that what the king did was wrong!
Soon, the army led by Lu Yun arrived at the foot of the city again, and they fought a decisive battle with them again, but unfortunately they were still defeated!
Ye Jiajia also did not join the battlefield.
Seeing that half of the land in the west of the Persian Empire was about to be occupied, they were actually a little panicked at this moment.
Soon the war situation here reached the ears of the Persian king.
When the Persian king learned about this, he was extremely angry.
"Damn it! This Miss Ye is getting more and more outrageous, and she still hasn't chosen to attack!"
"Does she really want her loved ones to die?"
"If this continues, large tracts of our Persian Empire will be occupied. More importantly, we will be left without soldiers to resist, and perhaps the entire Persian Empire will fall."
